    'nother baby adv bike for sale.

    My TT-R 250 . Proceeds to the second Transalp fund. It's been a terrific little bike, and it has been as far north as Medway, as far south as the Brass, and as far west as Ikamatua. I'm really going to miss it, but we can't have four bikes, because apparently that would just be silly.

    Click on the underlined text in the first post for the Tard me listing. Height is 930mm - very tall! It is adjustable downwards, not sure by how much. Someone will know.

    It will only have preload adjustment to make it sag a bit at the back and you might be able to drop the triple clamps on the forks a tad. Anything more will require mods of some sort.
    Cheers

    No, actually it has a threaded ride height adjuster on the lower link of the rear shock (as well as a remote pre-load adjuster - one reason why TT's are superior to their competitors ). It is currently at its highest setting, and sits a bit nose down.

    Yeah, but using it a few times a year means it is a pretty expensive toy.
